I guess that half of the positions with a mate deeper than 30 will actually have a shorter solution if you let the engines think long enough.
Probably 1% will even have a different key move.
When one of those turn up, you have to add an alterante solution to the test or replace the problem.
Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.

So does that mean you are or are not interested in faster mate solutions? or only if there is a shorter and different key move?

I am always interested in confirmations, improvments, alternates or whatever else you can provide,
My comment was intended to describe that my data set is not as solid as I would like it to be
